synoptic

A particularly long and evil type of exam set by evil exam boards. Often involves an amalgam of EVERYTHING you've ever learned in a particular subject. Otherwise knows as IL DIABOLO!

"Let's set them a paper that is 3 hours long, tests them on all the English Skills they've ever learnt, and is full of unseen material. But hey, let's put some blackadder in just to make it fun."

Synaptic Hug

An attachment of a personal emotion to a thought! Once you attach a personal emotion to a thought you have created a synaptic relationship to that thought. Once you have embraced this thought with your own emotion, you are now intimately involved with that thought.

If the thought was fear of failure... guess what... yep you failed because of a synaptic hug!!!

Nero's synaptic hug ultimately caused him to get a knife in the back!
